Prep:15minCook:15min
What a great way to use up any leftover chicken fat rendered out from roasting chicken leg quarters. Although not a healthy recipe, these biscuits are a minimal waste recipe, using any leftover chicken fat or broth you acquired when prepping some shredded chicken using leg quarters. They're delicious, roasty, crusty, and crumbly, making them a fun side at a gathering.
